Psycho-Cybernetics

by Maxwell Maltz

Cybernetics (loosely translated from the Greek): “a helmsman who steers his ship to port.” Psycho-Cybernetics is a term coined by Dr. Maxwell Maltz, which means, “steering your mind to a productive, useful goal so you can reach the greatest port in the world, peace of mind.”

“Before the mind can work efficiently, we must develop our perception of the outcomes we expect to reach.
